10 Crazy Kids Being Kids

Childhood should be a time for learning, experimenting and having fun. The worries of the world shouldn’t affect you, and everything you see, hear, taste, and touch brings new wonders and possibilities.

Though there are rules that children have to follow, breaking those rules is just as much a part of growing up as making them. Bad behavior is excused by, “Oh, they’re just kids being kids.” Behavior that might land you in jail as an adult may be considered cute, or explained as, “They are just going through a phase, it will pass.”

Here are some examples of “kids being kids” that will make you wonder how the parents have managed to keep from pulling their hair out.

Little Marilyn Monroe puts on a show for her admirers as she strikes a pose over the vent in the floor. Curiosity is a natural part of growing up and it doesn’t take long before kids realize that there is something very different between boys and girls.

Often, a young girl’s first job is babysitting. What do you think the parent’s reaction was when they came home to find their little one all wrapped up in something? At least she has company…haven’t you heard of “Duck Tape?”

Didn’t anyone tell this kid, “If you play with fire, you’ll wet the bed?” By the looks of things, the bed, and the house its in, will soon be up in smoke!

Now I know a lot of you will blame this behavior on bad parenting, but you can’t be there all the time. It only takes a few minutes for a child to get themselves into all kinds of trouble. If your child demonstrates behavior similar to this, try not to get angry. Keep a sense of humor, be grateful that they are ok, and remember that you were once a kid yourself.
